OneSign ENA is a self-contained, easy-to-use solution that provides administrators with the ability to better secure network and Microsoft Windows access for users in a seamless, cost-effective way. OneSign ENA integrates with a range of authentication options including One Time Password (OTP) tokens, proximity cards, smart cards, USB tokens and finger biometrics. In addition, centralized monitoring and reporting tools closely track activity - which users logged in, how and when - enabling organizations to strengthen security policies and enforce regulatory compliance with some of the most important regulations facing companies today, including Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, Basel II, FFIEC and HSPD-12.

'Network access security is a concern for organizations of all sizes,' said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. 'OneSign ENA delivers the security that companies require in a practical and affordable appliance, while providing administrators the convenience of choosing from a broad range of authentication options for user access.'

Built-in VASCO Digipass Deployment
The OneSign ENA appliance includes integrated management of Digipass two-factor authentication products from VASCO Data Security International, Inc. (NASDAQ: VDSI), the number one vendor of strong user authentication and e-signature products. By integrating support for VASCO's VACMAN Controller software within OneSign ENA, Imprivata enables customers to quickly and easily set up, deploy and manage any type of Digipass for online and offline strong network authentication-with nothing else to purchase or install. The combination of these powerful solutions delivers highly-secure, easy-to-use and cost-effective network access to organizations looking to eliminate the use of static passwords.

'Imprivata's OneSign ENA appliance will make it even easier for our clients to create a secure work environment throughout their organizations,' said Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. 'The seamless integration between these two strong user authentication solutions will allow clients to take advantage of the strengths of each company and improve their network security systems without interrupting the day-to-day operations of each user or requiring constant management or upgrades.'

Users have been concerned about the excessive cost and complexity of existing authentication solutions. Historically, these solutions have had multiple components to install and manage, only delivered support for a limited number of authentication choices and sometimes even forced users to 're-purchase' tokens to comply with vendor licensing practices. The combination of OneSign ENA and VASCO Digipass tokens eliminates these problems by placing everything an administrator needs to securely manage network access and token deployment all in one appliance, without any token license expiration period.

Delivers Simple and Flexible Strong Authentication
OneSign ENA is shipped as a fault-tolerant, failover appliance pair that enables secure network access with seamless real time failover and can be deployed within hours. There is no additional hardware or software to buy, install, integrate, or maintain. With a single management console, policies can be transparently applied in minutes-with no modifications needed to existing user directories-and day-to-day management is minimal.

Previously, the sheer cost prohibited some companies from implementing a token-based network access authentication solution. Now with OneSign ENA, Imprivata puts network access into one self-contained, easy-to-use appliance that doesn't require costly implementation or the need to deal with license limitations. OneSign ENA gives organizations a real gain in network security at a price point they can afford.

Allows for Easy Upgrade to ESSO
A seamless upgrade to a complete solution for both network authentication and enterprise application password management is also offered with OneSign ENA, helping administrators position their networks for the organization's future growth and increased security needs. A simple license upgrade to Imprivata's OneSign Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO) solution lets users conveniently automate password usage or strong authentication for all enterprise applications, increasing security while improving productivity.

Pricing and Availability
Imprivata OneSign Enterprise Network Authentication (ENA) will be available in May 2006 at an approximate cost, including Digipass tokens, of $75 per user for a 1000 user license.
